The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Write the given time in the 12 hour clock.
27 minutes past 10 am is 10:27 am.

Step 2: Split the gap up to noon into two easy pieces.
From 10:27 am to 11:27 am is exactly one hour, so that piece is 60 minutes.
From 11:27 am to 12:00 noon is the remaining piece: \(60 - 27 = 33\) minutes.

Step 3: Add the two pieces together.
Total minutes before noon \(= 60 + 33 = 93\) minutes.

Final Answer:
It is 93 minutes before 12 noon. \[ \boxed{93} \]
